We provide language and cultural support for several Asian languages, including Korean. The large number of characters in the Korean language makes it impossible to arrange them on a keyboard. Therefore, an input method, called the input server, is used to make sequences of keyboard events that correspond to each Korean character. The input server for WorldView(TM) Korean is called xwnmo(1). It translates your input of phonetic symbols into the equivalent character.

Localization

To customize your system to recognize certain conventions, such as date and time formats, currency format, and sorting order, as well as to display information and accept input in Korean, please follow the steps below.

• Select Desktop Customize Language from the Toolchest to invoke the ipanel (International Settings Control Panel).

  or

• Type ipanel at a shell prompt.

Country

• Click the left mouse button over the Country icon at the bottom of the ipanel, then select Korea from the list of countries in the next window.

Language

• Click the left mouse button over the Language icon at the bottom of the ipanel, then select Korean from the list of languages in the next window.

Keyboards

Your system has one of several possible keyboards. Although ipanel provides you with a default keyboard configuration, you should either confirm the default or select a different configuration.
 

• Click the left mouse button over the Keyboard icon at the bottom of the ipanel, then select the keyboard configuration you wish to use from  Keyboard Selection window.

Timezone

• Click the left mouse button over the Time Zone icon at the bottom of the ipanel, then select the timezone you wish to use from the list of timezones in the next window.

When you have made all your selections:

• Click either Set System button or Set Personal button.
• In the next window, ipanel confirms the new setting you've made.  Click Logout Now button to log out.
• Log in again with the same account so that these modifications can take effect in any new window.

Printing

To print a Korean language text file to a PostScript compatible printer, use the following command:

% /bin/lp -dprinter textfile

where textfile is the name of your file. If a PostScript printer does not support Korean characters, you should modify the /usr/lib/print/ilptops_map.ko_KR.euc file before printing with the lp command. For details, please see WorldView(TM) Korean Manual.
